Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The clonal selection theory states that an antigen selects certain B cells with complementary receptors to produce a clone of plasma cells that produce antibodies against that antigen. This process leads to the expansion of specific B cell clones, resulting in the production of large amounts of antibodies against the antigen. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.
